Drag Race! Tesla Model Y vs. Porsche Taycan | Reviewing & Racing Performance EVs | 0-60 Performance

- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2024
- Which is the fastest EV for $70,000 to $80,000? Is it the base model Porsche Taycan or the Tesla Model Y Performance? Alistair Weaver and Carlos Lago find out in this EV drag race.
Why no Model 3 or Model S? Because we own a Model Y. Why do we say the Model Y costs $70,000? Because that's what we paid for it.
Back in November, we pitted these two performance electric vehicles against each other in our real-world EV range test (edmu.in/3qURBPp). Those test results showed the pricier Taycan 4S has more range than our Model Y even though the EPA estimates said differently.
With the new rear-wheel-drive base model Taycan available for testing, we wanted to see how the Taycan's 0-60 mph time compares to the Model Y's 0-60 mph time. Which EV accelerates quicker?

The entry-level Taycan lost the drag race but we still think it's a superb car. How much straight-line performance do you need - Taycan, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S?
Edmunds - a DRAG race is a pretty insignificant metric.
how about Measuring Range/Efficiency instead .
and the STOCK model Y Performance handles way better than ANY Porsche , specially at the Track.
the MODEL 3 has proven itself in 2020 when it won the Australian TARGA Rally and PIKES PEAK .
expect Model Y to set some RACE records as well.
.Edmunds - pretty EASY to figure out MODEL Y or any TESLA HP.
take the 1100+ HP of the Model S PLAID , Divide by 3, then Multiply by 2 .
so, back of the Napkin math 1100 < 3 = 366 hp each x 2 = 733 Estimated HP .
but only TESLA Really knows, could be A LOT MORE for Dual Motor or perhaps a little less.
Realistically, these vehicles are in vastly different markets. Porsche knows their buyers well, and even at $200K, the Taycan Turbo S has been a sales leader for Porsche. That is because Porsche has succeeded in bringing all of the great qualities of their gas powered performance/luxury cars to their own electric vehicle. The materials and build quality, design, ride and feel are all Porsche caliber. I still enjoyed the comparison, but it is really academic/fun.
@@deanmcmanis9398 - NOPE , thats BS.
Porsche cant even sell 30k TAYCAN .
because , People know its a GAS car with an Electric Drivetrain.
the TAYCAN is Developed from the PANAMARA .
ALL GAS cars are now Irrelevant .
all that matters is BV production.
@@markplott4820 I’ve been reading comments and they are hilarious. Read up on the J1 platform. Also the Taycan has sold more than the Model S....
I've had my Performance Y since June and I tell you that 3.5 to 60 acceleration never gets old.
Can’t wait to get one!
I have the white on white with 20's and loving every second of driving it.
@@rickeybarnes6471 man you're going to love it I guarantee you! I'm excited for you congratulations!
Hi Bob, I’m so close to buying one. But haven’t had chance to talk to owners. If you have a moment could you please tell me what car you owned before? And a short explanation of your likes / dislikes ?
Thanks
It would be a lot more fun if it can go faster, louder and hit 200mph.
How many horsepower do you have?
Tesla : YES
TESLA : All your Horsepower belong to us.
Depends on who is lying.
Rolls Royce: "enough".
Tesla model Y performance Horsepower: Enough
Actually you have to admit that it is MORE than enough. But that's a good thing!
Long range would beat it still. Heck, the standard range plus model 3 is very close... And the LR is 0,5s better in 0-60mph
@@ricardofssantos Nope. LR Y 0-60 is 4.8. YP is 3.5. The only quicker Tesla's are Performance variations of all the other models.
@@bobloblaw2055 I know. What I meant is, for racing against this particular Taycan, any of those models would suffice.
@@ricardofssantos Got it. My misunderstanding.
That model Y may have been $70k when purchased, but it's $59k today, it's quite a steal for the specs and features.
They like to include the price of fsd and not mention it. Very annoying when they list the base Porsche price.
But it is still ugly as shit and the built quality is nowhere near Porsche or other premium cars. Plus you do not have any chance to personalise the interior and stuff.
Great car but they need to sort out quality issues. TFL's Model Y RL Door handle broke after 2 weeks.
@@UProductions457 omg get over it.
People should realize by now that Tesla' quality issues are blown out of proportion because they get clicks.
TFL's handle worked fine, it was the interior button that didn't work for one of the rear doors. They have slightly higher cosmetic issues than the competition but the reliability of the drivetrains is industry leading. There are model S and X's with over 500 000km on original battery and motors. Good luck with a bmw once its out of warranty, engine lights for days.
@@paulwurdig3959 ugly? lmao. i think the front of the taycan is horrendous and the interior layout gives me headache. only thing tesla lacks is minor quality control, otherwise the best. fuck "personalisation"
That pleasantly surprised me!
I'm looking forward to picking up my MY !!!
Congrats!
You’ll love it. Best car ever. Had our performance a month now. I smile everyday I see it and more when I drive it. What they didn’t show here is how the Y would wipe that Taycan up around a race course as well. Not just about the acceleration! Other than dead steering feel the handling is off the charts. With just a spring change it went around Laguna Seca faster than an M4!
We just placed an order for a MY Performance last week. Can’t wait to go fast
That race wasn’t matched up very well. Maybe the Porsche Taycan should race a Toyota RAV4 Prime
Love to see rich people get taken!
Or toyota mirai
@@hfe1833 ouch. 😂
... oh come on now at least give the Porsche a chance. Its gunna struggle against the RAV4 😆🤣🤣
I was thinking more Prius c 😂😂
So, the nonperformance model y costing half as much as the Porsche would be roughly equivalent?🤣
The slower Model Y's would certainly get beaten by this Taycan. But it'll still beat 90% of the cars out there in those impromptu stoplight grand prix if you ever find yourself at the front of a red light.
The slowest (long range) model Y is 4.7 seconds it’s still faster than the base Taycan.
@@Geckogold nope, the LR Model Y will still be faster. The standard range will be slower
equivalent? in terms of luxury, build quality, performance, handling, looks or prestige? no. one car is a typical overpowered suburban shopping cart the other is a luxury european sports car.
@@swunt10 Yeah your right the need to have a race between the tesla model s long range (The new one) because they are both luxury sports cars. Although I much prefer the new model s interior so if it loses in performance it's entirely about the brand at that point for the Taycan.
Something about the Model 3/Y, I love the fact there’s no launch prep. There’s no turning on launch control, no enabling Ludicrous+ mode and in general no additional prep that takes away the spontaneity of just mashing the accelerator and going bye bye
Lol...crossover SUV vs a sports car....hmmm, which one will win. This is why Tesla is such revolutionary company.
The "little" twist at end about Clarkson was awesome!! That's why I'm a follower of Carlos for 10+ years
It would be cool to test Model 3 Performance with the Taycan 4S
There have been other videos out there. Similar result as this. M3P is also about half the price of the 4S. If you're going spend that much money, I'd consider the Model S Plaid. Granted, I think the Porsche is a better quality vehicle from build quality to overall performance (not just straight line speed), but Tesla definitely has a recipe that works
@@MrDavegiven0330 I am a big Tesla and Porsche fan.
I own both Porsche Boxster and Tesla M3 SR and investing in Tesla stocks.
This video is humiliating Porsche that a soccer mom SUV/Crossover beats it, they knew the results will be entertaining.
I think that proper way is to match cars with closer specification (4S and M3P) and have a proper race that gives respect to both brands.
Tesla is miles ahead in terms of performance and tech, but many people enjoy owning a Porsche with its endless customizations, driving dynamics and status symbol.
The 3 Performance would be closer to the Turbo than the 4S
@@andersrudie7288 Indeed, 0-60 is similar. However, I would probably bet on a slight edge to the Turbo on 1/4 mile.
The best part of the channel is actually when the review of the cars are undertaken 😊. The review is just as important as the racing fun.
Here is the real difference between owning a Taycan and a Tesla …
Last week, I drove my brand new MY from Lisbon, South to my home in the Algarve, then to St Malo and subsequently Warwickshire.
Complete pleasure, way more relaxing and playful than the “jiggly-ride “2020 X5 it replaced.
The supercharger stops in Spain and Portugal are surprisingly at boutique hotels , beautiful vineyards or golf courses ! Quite pleasant for a coffee and bathroom visit.
The average stop, just 19 minutes to charge and £16 cost !
But stick to ice cars, urine soaked washrooms and motorway service stations if that’s your “thing”
Wow thats impressive!!
"I'm going to wipe the floor" the difference in confidence gave me whiplash.
Model y performance is 60k not 70k. Would make way more sense to compare to entry model s. Price is the same. Just saying. Great video though
Exactly. Edmunds version must have the full self driving package which the Porsche doesn't even have as an option so shouldn't be compared in their respective prices.
@@flipadavis agreed
The Taycan and Model S prices really are not that much the same because Porsche charges a boat load of money for options that are standard on the Tesla. If you spec an entry level Taycan to have the options that come standard on the Tesla Model S, e.g., adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, the Porsche stickers at $102,000. For that you could have purchased the outgoing Model S Performance with more than twice the power of the entry level Taycan and 402 miles of range.
@@mpow1404 thats why it would be good to do a base model s vs base 4s. Both 80k. Model s is better in everyway
Wowwwww !!! That model Y was so unexpected ❄️❄️
Next time he brings a turbo s ,get the plaid long range.
This was a surprising result!
...Only if you don't track the specs.
@8:48. "If you want the fastest EV you can get for about $70-80k, it's probably going to be a Tesla."
"That's true at least until the Mustang MachE GT arrives."
No. Still Tesla.
Mustang Mach-E GT Performance $60,500 - $7,500 = $53,000: 0-60 3.8 seconds. (Mustang Mach-E GT extended range battery and eAWD shown with a targeted EPA-estimated 250 miles.*; targeted 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds**, **Ford test data based on typical industry methodology using 1-ft rollout. Your results may vary.)
Tesla Model 3 Performance $54,990: 0-60 3.1 seconds.
Tesla Model S Long Range $79,900: 0-60 3.1 seconds.
It annoys me how they list the tesla price with fsd but don't mention the 10k reduction without it. And obviously the 3 would be quicker but the guy driving the taycan just can accept that Tesla's are good cars. Sigh. Also that mache price is before obligatory dealer markups.
3.8 seconds will not come close to the Y performance. No way that the Mach e GT will run a 11 second quarter. And let’s not get into the handling. The Ford is nicely done. Impressed as a Ford guy all my life...:but the Model Y is just off the hook good. Oh those tax credits. Not enough to make up for the difference. I could have bought either but the Tesla is so superior it’s not funny. Self driving, Supercharging, talks to my Powerwalls. Stuff the Stang can only dream about.
@@twothbeave I thought about getting a Mach-E. But I was a bit disappointed with the range given the size of its battery. I ultimately went with a Model Y partly because of the range, but also because of the Supercharger network (early Mach-E review videos trying out DC fast charging doesn't do it much justice), and because it was available a lot sooner than the Mach-E was.
But I hope that the Mach-E sells well, especially to people who may not have otherwise considered an EV in the first place.
@@twothbeave if you're that much invested in Tesla and solar etc you're already in with blind faith. You didn't even give the Ford a fair chance. See it all the time with the Tesla cult. Tax credits are absolutely worth it and I'll be likely replacing my 3 with a Mach E
For $75,000, buy a Tesla model 3 performance, and $20,000 of Tesla stock.
I have the white Performance model Y with white interior and 20's, it's awesome.
Shouldn't you have mention that those 6000$ optional wheels come with 305 tires instead of the standard 275mm - and that it would have been even slower without that additional, expensive grip?
The Porsche had to drive over a bush ;-) 6:06 that was unfair, haha
Where was this filmed? Just curious because the video implies both cars are $70-$80k, but here in Los Angeles an optioned Model Y Performance is around $60k whereas an optioned base Taycan is $100k, which is a $40k difference. I'm curious where this was filmed because the pricing seems way off.
The video show the pricing. The MY is just under $70k, probably with FSD, and the Porsche is $100k.
Is it a camera thing? Or does the Porsche barely fits in that garage!? Lol. Anyway, awesome result! Awesome cars (both!)
As an American, there is a touch of national pride to see a USA-developed and manufactured car perform so well.
I own a Model Y Performance, and that "launch" never gets old. I'll certainly have to pay for it with increased tire wear, but it's fun to have that much power on demand.
But for me, it's more than just the raw power it has. There's also the ease of getting in and out of the car, hatchback utility, Autopilot doing the boring mundane driving parts on the freeway especially on a long trip, the Supercharger network to let you drive long distances with relative ease, over the air updates adding new features and improvements to the car, and probably best of all, the high crash safety rating, which will probably also be high on many people's list when choosing a car.
So no, Tesla isn't perfect, and there are certainly other cars out there that do one or two things better. But as a whole package, they are hard to beat if you can afford one. And Tesla is working on bringing out a $25k compact version within a few years, which is also exciting to me because it'll make them more accessible to even more people.
Tesla is great if you sell it before the warranty expires. They are not a great long term buy that's for sure and that's really the whole reason to buy am EV
@@tonyc6996 why are they not a good long term buy?
I think Tony confused Tesla with Porsche it’s best to lease German vehicles buy and ride the Tesla. I know many current Tesla owners who own outside of warranty and have had no issues. My personal very expensive Porsche/Audi ownership experience helped me to move on.
Tesla also holds their value much better than Porsche/Audi.
Nice ! What's the price difference between this two cars?
Great video
Did you think the drag race would be closer?
Nope I didn't. As soon as I saw the cars I thought the Porsche Taycan was dead meat. It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
I knew the Tesla would win easily.
That was WAY worse than I thought it'd be. I guess the Taycan RWD doesn't have the 2 speed gearbox of the Turbo?
@@enyotheios2613 360hp vs 650+ hp of the base model vs Turbo
Tesla is 3 years ahead of everyone according to market research
Wow I never realized that a mom and pop family sedan could be that fast 😮
which side of the track do cars usually run on this track?
I see a lot of options on that Taycan. What was the sticker price @Edmunds?
5:10 in the video. It's $100k.
Edmunds, without looking the content. I already knew the result
Well, if you want even a descent Porsche, you will need to add on some options package and the price quickly goes to $114,000.00
The Porsche is gorgeous! Especially the interior !
Can you imagine attending a Porsche dealer for service ?
Can you imagine the interior as a place to make a long journey?
However … I’m choosing the Y !
I have friends with non -Tesla EV’s and it’s a fucking nightmare for them with various credit cards, broken chargers, failed phone apps and slow third party chargers
Taycan't
*Porsche Taycant
I've ordered the tri motor cyber truck last April & may buy the S Plaid too? I got lots or solar & battery backup to charger them. I love space X too..
The correct comparison is the $80,000 model S with the base Taycan. My guess is this would be much worse. The base model S is nearly a second faster to 100 kph. If you add all the built in Tesla features to the Taycan, better stereo, memory seats, larger battery, you hit ~$130,000. That’s model S Plaid+ money.
The only thing I prefer about the Porsche is the styling of the front end. I don’t like the rear end. I know I don’t want a single rear engine, rear wheel drive car. It’s not the 1970’s, any more.
I have a Model Y and it is incredibly quick. I still really love that Taycan even though it's a bit of a slug and has to recharge more often than your smartphone.
There’s videos on here that show the Y P having about 500 hp at the crank, the wheel was off when it was measured.
You guys got the taycan base model but didn’t do the range test for it???
Drag race doesn't start till 5:28 y'all. You're welcome.
That’s already noted in the video description, and mentioned in the beginning of the video as well.
woaw almost as interesting as a race of irobot vs deebot
No contest. Even the higher end Taycans won't stand a chance. Tesla's performance is astounding for the money.
Would be fun to see the LRAWD (non performance) Model Y run the Porsche! I believe it’s around 386hp or so, where your Performance Model Y is supposedly around the 500hp mark.
It still wouldn't be very close. According to testing by Motor Trend, the Tesla Model Y Long Range ran 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and the quarter in 12.4, both times being about a second quicker than the entry-level Porsche.
And they could buy acceleration boost on the Y for 1300$
@@mpow1404 and then another run after the $2000 performance boost, just for fun of course. 😉
From what others have said and I think someone also did dyno a Tesla, they said it makes around 500HP. Which makes sense seeing how much quicker the Tesla is.
The Model Y is a sleeper. You don't mess with this car on the road.
You pull up beside the Porsche at the lights and give his girlfriend the "How you doin'?"
maybe more interesting with Model 3 SR+ :D
The specs actually are comparable to the model 3 SR+ for 3 times the price. Sad lol
Race starts @5:28
Carlos use to look so young... seeing him with grey hair makes me feel old
I was thinking the exact same thing. I still picture him as the young, fresh out of school kid.
He’d look a lot younger if he didn’t have facial hair.
So, true
“I’m going to wipe the floor with that Porsche “ 😂😂😂😂
Tesla driver has the biggest smile !
Cheers guys
100k as tested. RIP
And that even with the Model Y starting significantly later in the second and third run; especially in the second run the Model Y driver was quite late at the start.
I don't even have to watch it to say that they're both scary fast for acceleration, but that's not the main reason you'd buy the Porsche. You'll get a car that has been fine-tuned for corners, has suburb fit/finish and a plush interior. But you'll pay a high price for it, not to mention you'll get less range and have to put up with the patchwork of non-Tesla chargers.
For me, because of range and the incredible supercharger network, and cost, I'd buy the Tesla. I've had a Porsche and while they're very nice, they are clearly meant for people with lots of disposal income.
I've driven the S, Y and X and I love them all, especially the X but my wife does not like the glass roofs so when it's time to buy in a couple years I'll have a hard decision if I really want to go all electric.
So, a performance Model 3 will blow that away at much lower price range? lol
“Basically the same price.” Porsche price as tested $100,000, ha ha ha. Good one Edmonds. BTW MYP is closer to 60k than 70k, unless you are including FSD.
What happens if you drive three or four hours to the track and then race what’s your battery at

Why SUV VS Sports car? Funny comparison like Apple compares to Banana , anyway great video and model Y just amazing
I found it highly amusing a long while back when an Alfa Romeo 4C was paired against a Model X... that was towing an Alfa Romeo 4C.
Spoiler alert: the X won.
To prove that this base model sports car isn't much of a sports car. It looks like a sports car but doesn't have the performance to back that up.
Porsche tested is the price of a starter model S. It would destroy it on range and speed.
was the tumbleweed CGI? 👀👀👀👀 just curious i do youtube also and i ordered a model Y performance yesterday. 👑👑
Comparing price with options vs base price is misleading. Model Y Performance is $60k, I don't care if you chose to get FSD on top of that. A base Porsche Taycan might theoretically sell for $80k but let's see what that number looks like after their notorious options and packages. Either go with just base price for respective trims or include options cost for both, but don't make it lopsided by only counting options on one car.
It's because they slant negative against tesla where ever possible and then screech oh oh the fan boys. Get your ducks in a row and there wouldn't be complaints on every video.
The video shows their base taycan costs $100k.
tesla has almost no options. typical american car in every respect, too much horsepower for the capability of the chassis, incapable of going around corners, low build quality, complete lack of interior style and almost no options to make it individual.
@@swunt10 hahahaha. Model 3 is a handling beast with perfect weight distribution. They started banning model 3s in road courses because Porsche owners were getting butt hurt over losing. I'm not kidding, they have actually been banned by some groups for not having an "approved fuel" LOL. Model Y is slightly worse as all suvs compared to their sedan counterparts
@@swunt10 Have you seen a single review that says a Tesla doesn't handle well. The reviews generally say that its weight is a bit high but it has a low center of gravity and handles well. The build quality is a reasonable argument but it has improved and it seems with the casting press Tesla is starting to use to make single piece front and rear ends, it should have good build quality going forward. The interior is ok, but obviously the materials in other luxury cars is better. Most American cars have plenty of options. I like that I can get all the major things most people would want at a set price. I bought my Jaguar XF when it came out and it was like that and I loved it. Now they have a ton of options and the price of my car would be at least $10k over what I paid with basically the same options. Porsche has a ton of option that will easily increase the cost by $20k+. You want to customize your car, go to a custom shop and they will make the interior and exterior look exactly how you like and will probably cost the same as what Porsche charges
When asked “how much HP is enough” Big Daddy Don Garlits responded this way. If SOME is good and MORE is better than TOO MUCH is just right. And to that I say YUP. And you should run the Model 3 Performance, sedan vs sedan
of course the model Y was going to be faster, the tycan does 0-60 in over 5 seconds. Slower than a Honda Accord.
Awesome content! Model Y VS Taycan Turbo S. 70K vs 200K! By the way that Taycan seemed pretty loaded more than $110k. 😂
8:07 Should you also bring the model s plaid+ that would be even more embarrassing than it already is😂
"next time I need to bring a turbo S" (heaven forbid someone brings a Model S Plaid and puts 12 car lengths on you)
People just don’t realise how good these Tesla’s are !
more important is range....tesla also wins!!!!!!
Also wins on battery tech, OTA updates, AP/FSD, software. It just loses with paint quality and panel gaps.
My model Y’s paint is perfect no panel gaps, fit and finish are flawless.
Lol that Tesla interior B pillar gap.
Notice that panel gap on the b-Pillar trim?
It clearly wasn't like that when they bought the car.
ruclips.net/video/NApXyRQ3f3Y/видео.html
Or the hood and bumper. They are truly built terribly. They are fine for a few years. But no way I'll own mine out of warranty
And what about the quality?
The taycan isn't a bad car, you pay the porsche tax of course but that's fine.
I just don't see a spot for the base taycan, it's just too slow.
A base 38,000 model 3 sr+, is roughly equal in speed and with probably more but certainly no less range. That's just too big of a gap.
Gotta add some twisties. As good as straight is, how about some turns?
You know, I always wonder the same thing about purpose-built drag cars. Why are they so bad at things they're not explicitly designed to do? Such nonsense.
Being in that Taycan is a bit like how someone in Ford Ranger feels next to my 2016 Model S....
At least the Ford ranger has better build quality than your model S. ;)
@@nikoleknight2522 sure it is.... Ford interiors are top quality right.... and I really don't care, whether it's a Ranger, Focus or Mustang GT. You're all crying at the lights.
A race between the Beauty and the Beast
@5:26 race
3 years later and the situation isn't much better. Now the Taycan has to deal with the new Model 3 Performance....not a good situation for Porsche. Interesting to see Carlos Lago before he became a Car and Driver sycophant.
Aside from the race, how and why the heck did you guys park the Taycan in that tight space?
Wow I really didn't expect that at all. Not to mention every single most basic option on the Porsche has to be paid extra and it's humongously overpriced, so basically it will easily cost 100 grand price tag with couple of options unless you just buy a very slow bare bone.
Tesla Y performance is $60k and an incredible deal. Only reason they paid $70k is if they added autopilot. Not sure why they would do that. The base model comes with adaptive cruise and most of the autopilot functions.
Not "Autopilot"..... "FSD"
(AP is standard)
Maybe this is the reason why there is so many MY on the road right now. I don’t even see taycan 😅 100k
Exactly 100k , Porsche is a total scam , look on their site the taycan goes upto 200k and even at that still not with the good wheels its like 5k more for that , and the base does not exist they all have few packages that cost arm and leg for example even to tilt side mirror its 6k package
Which would you rather drive on twisty roads?
A drag race doesn't answer that question.
I would rather drive the one with AWD. They both have low centers of gravity. Plus, I could do it with 5 people and packages. 😉
what’s the point of the test if you’re comparing the fastest Tesla model Y with the slowest Tycan you can possibly find
Just for the sake of it?
Love the content, hopefully the channel owners don't sell out like motortrend :)
If you want the looks and the brand name, go for the taycan If you want the performance choose the Tesla. I can hardly wait until my model 3 will finally be delivered 😍
Next race. Roadster 2.0 vs Taycan Turbo S
Note a fair fight, the bigger heavier Plaid Model S would destroy a Turbo S. Roadster Gen2 would be insult to injury.
4:02
402 So close to being nice.
Porsche's specs on the base Taycan list 0-60 in 5.1 sec. Of course they are conservative, but it still is not going to get anywhere close to the Model Y Performance (3.5 0-60). Closer to the mark is the Model 3 Long Range, which gets to 60 in 4.2 sec, but at $47K, it costs about half as much as the base Taycan. Closer in price and size is the new 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range, starting at $80K, but it does 0-60 in 3.1 sec, and is rated at 412miles of range. The race that I really want to see is the 2021 Model S Plaid (due out in a month) against the similarly priced ($120K+) Porsche Taycan 4S with the 93kW battery pack. But seeing how the Taycan 4S manages about the same acceleration as your Model Y Performance (12.2 sec 1/4) it will be far more embarrassing with the Model S Plaid's unbelievable (9.2 sec 1/4 mile) capability. This also compares well to the $186K Taycan "Turbo" S (10.3 sec 1/4 mi). Porsche is slated to soon release the EV Macan, which may be a closer match to the Model Y, at least in looks if not price or performance. But we will have to see. Thanks for the entertaining show!
Porsche specs in on the base taycan in UK are 0-60 in 5.4 sec and it does according to carwow 5.2s.
@@TschingisTube My guess is that we will see later base Taycans get much quicker. The first Taycan "Turbo" S models managed 10.5-10.8 seconds in the 1/4 mile, but current production models make it in 10.3 seconds. I believe that Porsche silently tweaked and optimized later models to make 50-80HP more than the first ones tested. The initial base Taycans are probably optimized for efficiency (as that was a sore spot), plus Porsche doesn't want the base model to eat into the more profitable 4S sales.
@@deanmcmanis9398 I'm also pretty sure that Porsche does not want that you buy a cheap car. I wonder if the base model without extras could actually be ordered.
@@TschingisTube Even the base Taycan has a lot of features and amenities built in. I think that you "can" order a bare bones base Taycan via special order, in the same way that you could buy a $35K Model 3. But most German cars cost considerably more out the door when options are added. And dealers are going to be selling heavily optioned Taycans as long as the market supports it. The early Taycan 4S was really only offered here with the larger 93kW battery option, which brought the base up to $115K before additional options. Some of the Taycan "Turbo" S models were pushing $260K out the door.
I realy like how the tycan look but for me was more important awd not rwd and awd tycan is too expensive for me. If the tykan tyrbo was tha same price like the performance y i wold take the porshe every time.
Why foot on brake, when not holding revs?
No such thing as revs with electric car
Powering the electric motors while stopped helps with launching as you don't get the delay of having to press on the accelerator and then getting power.
@@shrayesraman5192 Not true. Electric motors can rev to well over 10,000 RPM!
What about a circuit race.
the tesla may be faster and better but i still like the porsche
Price difference for two cars also is in big margin
When your only good performance metric is a drag race...
Tesla loves that they can use this for marketing lmao
Saw a livw drag race between Taycan and Model S Performance....Model S got it quarter mile race.
Not the base Taycan, the Turbo.
